You’ll document outcomes, adjust plans based on objective measures, and participate in discharge planning to maximize independence and function. This assignment emphasizes ongoing professional growth: you’ll have access to mentorship from experienced clinicians, opportunities to expand skills in outpatient and inpatient settings, and exposure to diverse case mix that sharpens diagnostic reasoning and treatment planning. The package includes a competitive bonus program, housing assistance, and extension opportunities, reflecting our commitment to rewarding performance and helping you build a sustainable travel career.
